2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

Yesterday marked the launch of Intel's 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor family (codenamed Cascade Lake) which will form the backbone of Intel’s data-centric portfolio for AI, Analytics and Cloud and will enable greater efficiencies and most importantly - lower TCO.

The exponential growth of data generation and consumption, the rapid expansion of cloud-scale computing, emerging 5G networks, and the extension of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) into new usages require that today’s datacentres and networks urgently evolve—or be left behind in a highly competitive environment. Across infrastructures, from enterprise to technical computing applications, the Intel Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform is designed for datacentre modernization to drive operational efficiencies that lead to an improved total cost of ownership (TCO) and higher productivity for users. Systems built on the Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform are designed to deliver agile services with enhanced performance and ground-breaking capabilities, compared to the prior generation.
